    Stayed in 2018 and 2023. Great place. Lovely veggie paella. Almost empty both times.

    NEVER - LIKE EVER - be separated from your valuables, even for a moment. Cargo pants with lots of pockets help. Cross torso bags, like a fanny or bum bag worn cross-body are also good. The less it looks like a woman's handbag - purse, the more...

    Walkerooni reacted to oursonpolaire's post in the thread Best Camino "tour operator"? with Like Like.
    This will give you many happy hours of reading (https://www.csjofsa.za.org/). I do not see a point in a tour company for travelling support, although some of them offer considerable value in terms of historical and cultural content. But you...

    I would encourage you not to use an organizer. It is likely that they will book you in accommodations that while very nice are not normal pilgrim accommodations possibly off route and only with those using the organizer. They will also charge...

    I spoke to hospitaleros at a lovely donativo in Rabanal last year. They were struggling with this question--what to charge for e-bike charging when riders assumed they should pay nothing? When one considers most people on the CF take 35-ish...

    An easy and effective way to build up supportive muscles that can help avoid shin splints (and it can be done while sitting on your duff while watching a movie or while reading the Camino Forum!): Sit on a chair, feet flat on floor, knees at 90...

    Walkerooni reacted to VNwalking's post in the thread want solitude with Like Like.
    Cheerful ecstatic heartwarming joyful jubilant upbeat wonderful and joyful can also be solitary and quiet. Extroverts may fail to understand this, but it's very true.

    Walkerooni reacted to Kathar1na's post in the thread €12000 fine on Route Napoleon? with Like Like.
    In March 2016, two pilgrims walked the Napoleon route although it was already prohibited at the time but this legal prohibition was less well known than now. One of them fell and got injured and immobilised and it was night time. It had snowed...

    Walkerooni reacted to henrythedog's post in the thread want solitude with Like Like.
    I don’t particularly like my own family, so I’m most certainly not soliciting a ‘Camino family’ when I’m walking. I do like meeting others, and nowhere else have I spent time with so many nationalities and age-ranges where I have something in...
